No need to seach through crappy council websites when the landing fee is shown in plane😀 sight on ozrunways and presumably all the other EFB's. I have heard you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.

Ozrunways and other EFB's are very much official documents, they contain the ERSA and ALL other documents needed for flight or a ramp check.

A pic of the Purple Pub Beechcraft skipper mural, the skipper is so rare it did not get a nick name like the similar "trauma hawk". Marketing departments were all go for t tails back then.

Ozrunways, or similar, which you would, should, have looked at if you you intending to land there is showing the landing fee, $16.64 flat, and a clickable link to airport info. What more would you need?

He might want to crank the engine with the "mags" off. Getting oil pressure up etc.

The continuity? seemed a little strange, one minute in Imc, next they are 100% vfr conditions. Destination ground cover dry and desert like then green and lush like it would be right now.

That snake is doing very well to navigate along the small flange on a Z purlin. It must be smaller and less scary that it looks.

A Jab 55 here is having electrical issues, has been diagnosed as a bad fuse block. Tests fine until put under load.

One small correction Nev, the 582 wasn't released until 1989, in 1990 we all bought them to replace the less powerful 503. My 1988 thruster left the factory with a 503, it was demonstrated at Oshkosh in 88 before returning to Oz.

It is worth re reading the preliminary report. The CVR will hear things like switch movements. I feel there would have been more said on the CVR than was put in the preliminary report. Part of the preliminary report below. As per the EAFR data, the aircraft crossed the take-off decision speed V1 and achieved 153 kts IAS at 08:08:33 UTC. The Vr speed (155 kts) was achieved as per the EAFR at 08:08:35 UTC. The aircraft air/ground sensors transitioned to air mode, consistent with liftoff at 08:08:39 UTC. The aircraft achieved the maximum recorded airspeed of 180 Knots IAS at about 08:08:42 UTC and immediately thereafter, the Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec. The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off. In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so. The CCTV footage obtained from the airport showed Ram Air Turbine (RAT) getting deployed during the initial climb immediately after lift-off. No significant bird activity is observed in the vicinity of the flight path. The aircraft started to lose altitude before crossing the airport perimeter wall. As per the EAFR data both engines N2 values passed below minimum idle speed, and the RAT hydraulic pump began supplying hydraulic power at about 08:08:47 UTC. As per the EAFR, the Engine 1 fuel cutoff switch transitioned from CUTOFF to RUN at about 08:08:52 UTC. The APU Inlet Door began opening at about 08:08:54 UTC, consistent with the APU Auto Start logic. Thereafter at 08:08:56 UTC the Engine 2 fuel cutoff switch also transitions from CUTOFF to RUN. When fuel control switches are moved from CUTOFF to RUN while the aircraft is inflight, each engines full authority dual engine control (FADEC) automatically manages a relight and thrust recovery sequence of ignition and fuel introduction. The EGT was observed to be rising for both engines indicating relight. Engine 1’s core deceleration stopped, reversed and started to progress to recovery. Engine 2 was able to relight but could not arrest core speed deceleration and re-introduced fuel repeatedly to increase core speed acceleration and recovery. The EAFR recording stopped at 08:09:11 UTC At about 08:09:05 UTC, one of the pilots transmitted “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY”. The ATCO enquired about the call sign. ATCO did not get any response but observed the aircraft crashing outside the airport boundary and activated the emergency response. At 08:14:44 UTC, Crash Fire Tender left the airport premises for Rescue and firefighting. They were joined by Fire and Rescue services of Local Administration.

Probably have to do human factors exam, everything else would should be covered with your unrestricted PPL.

I would paint one colour, white. Later after the aircraft is flying add decorations with vinyl if it is required. My friends cessna was done this way, simple to do and looks good.

That would be a very good reason to Visually identify and only press one button at a time to avoid the risk of double engine failure.

It is possible that Airservices Australia do not want the ersa populated with no operational info that can be found elsewhere.

The correct landing fee information can be easily found on the Armidale council website. Not sure why it is provided ex gst. The "documents" button allows viewing of the ERSA for the selected airport.

Also, in ozrunways for Armidale at the point where you could select documents the landing fees are displayed on the screen. CASE DISMISSED.

SKIPPY, do you have this style of brake with the full circle of friction material? It would be possible to replace that with 4 individual pads, ground to size from cleavland or matco etc. New rivet holes could be drilled if necessary.

Or you could have landed at Inverell, no landing charges for your class of aircraft.

If you ask google the correct question it can provide the answer AI Overview Yes, replacement brake pads for Tracy O'Brien C-90 hydraulic brakes can still be obtained, though the original primary website and storefront are now closed. Because Tracy O'Brien has transitioned or sold parts of the business, here are the most effective ways to source the pads: [1, 2] Direct Inquiry: You can still contact Tracy O'Brien directly via email at [email protected] to check the current inventory of replacement pads and Viton seals.

Not all aircraft are Cessnas Brendan, the guy in Newman had a rare Beechcraft Skipper.

On short final today in the Cat55, after a few days in the tractor planting the '26 crop the strip looked very inviting.

Perhaps a fire blanket or one of these welding blankets could be used, make a form out of wood, fit blanket material around form and join the seam with high temp silicone. https://www.vevor.com.au/welding-blanket-c_10056/vevor-carbon-felt-welding-blankets-2-pack-508mm-x-914mm-flame-retardant-welding-blanket-up-to-1800-f-heat-resistant-safety-protection-blanket-3-5mm-thickened-carbon-fiber-fireproof-insulation-mat-p_010421956361?adp=gmc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_id=21271593978&ad_group=163180832818&ad_id=699136035035&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21271593978&gbraid=0AAAAACYOjau14XBmePs9-F5M-n41S3zEd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoMXQBhDcARIsAH-eEtvXRPrzkvdVRBWQb84ev-zKWuCVrAUwmIbJnrIkFM4d51QVjle-klcaApICEALw_wcB

Use a pre departing the aircraft check list, master off, SkyEcho2 in bag etc.

Some observations on oil filters. Having used the oil filter cutting tool on many rotax and ryco filters the rotax is a lot thicker can. My musketeer's Lycoming engine only has a fine screen for a filter, 1550 total time, no metal and the oil is no more discoloured than similar lycomings with the big paper filter. Pic is the oil screen. There is a guy on YouTube, I do cars, he has dismantled many failed engines, the "forbidden glitter" is nearly always spread, by the oil, all through the engine. The oil filter does not contain it.
